Meet the teamHuman trafficking is a growing concern that has drawn the attention among civic society including governments, law enforcement agencies and NGOs. Human trafficking places people in situations of slavery, debt bondage and exploitation and despite commitment to tackling modern slavery, survivors face multiple barriers in accessing safety, recovery and redress. In our experience of working with survivors of trafficking there are crisis points and gaps in provision facing survivors of trafficking even once they are identified.

We are seeking to enhance existing relations across the Red Cross Red Crescent movement by creating a platform for improved communication about care and support for survivors, in the UK we are working in partnership to pilot a models of long term assistance and support to trafficked people. We are also working across Europe to develop ways to sensitise newly arrived asylum seekers about the risks of trafficking and where to seek assistance.
